32: Covid and Kids: Part 2 – Understanding a Child’s Reaction to the Pandemic

In this episode, we meet Poh Gan, a very experienced developmental psychologist, who sees lots of families and children.

Today we talk about Covid-19 through a child's eyes. 

We look at understanding their emotional reaction given children often behave differently when faced with stress.

Finally, we touch on getting a grasp on your own anxiety and some practical tips for you to consider.

Poh has mentioned some useful links during today's chat – please find these resources listed below.
